1And though the unbelievers have their whole will all their life long, yet hath it an evil end, as it had with the rich man, which was buried in the hell. Luce. xvi. For who so believeth not, shall be damned. Again, though the faithful be plagued and persecuted all his life long, so that he can not see how he may be delivered, yet hath he this comfort, that the LORD is his God: that is, that he can help & deliver him as an almighty LORD, ye after such a fashion & way, as neither he himself, nor any mans reason can think or devise. And though he do it not, yet doth not the faithful despair, but letteth the LORD be his God, on whom he hopeth: that is, at whose hand he looketh for all good in the life for to come and everlasting. For hope seeth and looketh on that which is to come, which as yet is hid. As Paul sayeth Roma. the .viii. Chapter. Hope that is seen, is no hope for how can a man hope that which is seen. But if we hope that which we see not, we look for it by patience.
1And though the vnbeleuers haue theyr whole wyll all theyr lyfe longe, yet hath it an euell ende, as it had wyth the rych man, whych was buryed in the hell. Luce. xvi. For who so beleueth not, shalbe damned. Agayn, though the faythfull be plaged and persecuted all hys lyfe longe, so that he can not se how he maye be delyuered, yet hath he thys comforce, that ye LORDE is hys God: that is, that he can helpe & delyuer hym as an almyghty LORDE, yee after suche a fashion & waye, as nother he hymselfe, nor ony mans reason can thynke or deuyse. And thoughe he do it not, yet doth not the faythfull dispayre, but letteth ye LORDE be his God, on whom he hopeth: that is, at whose hande he loketh for al good in the lyfe for to come and euerlastynge. For hope seyth and loketh on that whych is to come, whych as yet is hyd. As Paule sayeth Roma. the .viii. Chapter. Hope yt is sene, is no hope for how can a mā hope yt which is sene. But yf we hope that which we se not, we loke for it by pacience.
